Re: [Jython-users] Newbie problems

Brad,

Honored to have you here.

Apparently you hit a known bug:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=222805&group_id=128
67&atid=112867

In Robert W. Bill's book, page 5 about Line Separators and Block Indentation
Syntax:

"""
A Current Interactive Limitation
One disclaimer concerning the interactive interpreter: The current
implementation of Jython produces an error when employing backslashes, open
enclosures, and triple-quotes in interactive mode despite it being legal
syntax. This syntax does work in Jython files as well as in the interactive
interpreter for CPython (Jython's counterpart implemented in C). It could be
working in interactive mode as well by the time you read this, but if not,
those examples with extended logical lines should be placed in a file and
run as an argument to the Jython interpreter (such as   jython example.py).
"""

Wonder how hard it is to fix? Any idea from the developers?

-Brian
